I just wanted to say that I found your blog the other day when I was looking for information on Kyoto. It's because I've just returned from there and wanted to get accurate information for my photos I just uploaded to flickr.

Anyways, I'm loving reading your posts and seeing the photos. I'm working my way through them.

I do have a few recent photos of some of the maiko that I took while in Gion. I'm sure you are busy but if you get a chance to look, and recognize anyone, I would so appreciate knowing who they are!

Hi Melissa! I really enjoy reading your blog and seeing all your lovely pictures of Maiko and Geiko. I'd like to travel to Kyoto one day, and every time I see your pictures I remember to keep saving money for the trip! ^_^

(Also, the link above is inaccurate. I did some poking around and I came up with this, which should lead you in the right direction, if you want to look at her photos: http://flickr.com/photos/blukat/sets/72157602890198286/ )

Julie: Ookini! It sounds like you had a great experience in Kyoto. I'd be glad to help, but the links you've sent don't seem to work...

Molly: I hope you do get to visit Kyoto someday! My pictures are nothing compared to experiencing it in real life. You won't be disappointed. It will be worth it, I promise!

I'll give that link a try! Cheers!

Sara: Hehehe... Not everyone! Some people manage to control their dorkiness just long enough to look normal. I, on the other hand, have embraced it- become one with it. In other words, I have no such hope (^_Abbey: I wish you were still here!

Alyson: Come on now! You lived in Japan for two years! Haven't you seen Japanese girls climbing mountains in 9 inchi stillhettos? Shinaju's got it easy! (^_Inge: Kyoto is my happy place! Now if only I could t pull myself away just long enough to get down to Kyushuu...
